Allocation of the principal's Time in agricultural schools in Luzon
Thesis Abstract:
The study was made to determine and compare the perceptions of the principals and teachers regarding the allocation of the principal’s time in vocational agriculture schools in Luzon. Data were gathered with the use of interview schedules, one for the principals and another for the teachers. Randomly selected respondents consisted of 10 principals and 120 teachers. Percentages, means, ranks, rank-order correlation, t-test, and analysis of variance were used in the treatment of data.
Findings were : (1) 90% of the principals had no teaching assignments; (2) the principals actually spent more time for supervision and routinely administrative duties than for any other function: (3) both the principals and the teachers agreed that the principal should give more attention to supervisory work than to any other duty; (4) the teachers significantly differed from the principals in their perceptions of actual and preferred time allocations for the latter’s professional duties and school plant administration; (5) teachers of related subjects and those of vocational subjects differed in their perceptions with regard to the principal’s preferred time allocation for school plant administration and for school staff organization and administration; (6) the principals’ perception of time allocation for administration of pupil personnel was affected by their age, length of service and educational attainment, while their perception of time allocation for administration of school facilities was influenced by length of service and enrollment size.
To enable the principal to have more time for his supervisory work and professional growth, it was recommended that he: (1) be completely relieved from teaching assignment; (2) delegate certain administrative functions to capable staff members; and (3) engage in professionally enhancing activities such as attending conference and workshops.
